Come True has some really cool imagery in it, but talk about style over substance. I am usually an absolute mark for this kind of movie and I struggled to even get through it. Basically nothing outside of the dream sequences is worth watching.

Someone is probably doing the math right now whether or not a single buyout would be worth still investing in films. Maybe someone will make a movie about A24 🤔

Apple getting A24 unfortunately felt inevitable once they started partnering for films (The Elephant Queen, Boys State, On the Rocks all already released; Sharper, The Tragedy of Macbeth, Bride, The Sky is Everywhere all still to come)

I haven't read any of Grady Hendrix's novels, but his latest, The Final Girl Support Group, has an audiobook narrated by Adrienne King. I thought that was a pretty cool choice, and its her first (solo) audiobook she's narrated.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:The weirdest thing about Sleepaway Camp to me is the old camp owner who gets excited about going in a date with his teenage employee right before they’re both killed, because he’s otherwise portrayed as a normal, kind guy. It seems like an artifact of an earlier version of the story before they cast an old man for that part. A couple pages back but...what? He spends half the movie yelling that all the deaths must be accidents so the camp doesn't close, and the other half trying to beat the poo poo out of Ricky.

He's definitely a piece of poo poo, and IMO the director should've done everything in his power to get Tom Atkins in that role.

I was looking for old Canadian horror movies and came across this, in which giant rats are terrorizing Toronto. The giant rats are portrayed by small dogs in costumes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVT31kxL7yw

I've been reading/listening to Dracula, and also reading Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. For those not familiar, Carmilla is a novella that predates Dracula by 26 years, and is also one of the earliest examples of the lesbian vampire, and a major influence on Bram Stoker's novel. It's had quite a few adaptations, including The Blood Spattered Bride, which is how I first came aware of the novella, but most lesbian vampire films owe something to Carmilla, directly or indirectly. Dracula's fine. I've got the unabridged audiobook where each character's letters/diaries has a different narrator, including Alan Cumming, Tim Curry as Van Helsing, Simon Vance, Susan Duerden, Katherine Kellgren and others. The audiobook is great, I'm just always surprised how long Dracula is. I've been reading and listening to it for forever, and I've got 2/3rds of the book left. So far I prefer Carmilla. The Dracula audiobook I'm listening to is free (and exclusive) on Audible.

Franchescanado posted:I've been reading/listening to Dracula, and also reading Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Camilla owns bones. For other lesser known pre-Dracula vampire fiction I recommend Family of the Vourdalak by Aleksey Tolstoy (relation),written in 1839 but not actually published until 1884, if you haven't read it. It's by far the most faithful to the original vampire folklore of any vampire fiction from that era and a drat good yarn. The Boris Karloff segment from Baba's Black Sabbath is a pretty faithful adaptation of it Polidori's The Vampyre is decent but a bit barebones and mostly interesting for being the first and based on Lord Byron being a fuckboy. I wanna get into Varney the Vampire. I've only read a few snippets and it's fun pulpy schlock but there's so many chapters that even the authors got confused and messed up the numbering a few times

I knew about Carmilla when I watched the Castlevainia series but had no idea that Varney was an actual 19th century vampire story. Very cool.

I feel like there has to be another gear that the movie(Old) goes into at some point because otherwise it seems like we already saw everything in the trailer and there's not enough there to fill 90+ minutes. Like, ok so the people go to this island and they start rapidly aging.....then what?

Which could actually be done well. There are plenty of great movies where if you just look at the concept you’d expect garbage. But even the trailers, which are supposed to make you want to see the move, are loving dire.

Retro Futurist posted:Maybe this Shyamalan guy will do some kind of twist ending? Who knows? There has to be a twist of course, but it needs to be like halfway through the movie where things go off in a totally different direction than what you see in the trailer, it can't just be a gotcha! twist in the last 2 minutes of the movie. And maybe that's exactly what happens, that's totally possible.
